This shocking video footage shows girl dicing with death as she runs out in front of cars using a busy Derbyshire roundabout.

The traffic was approaching the Tollgate Island, in Woodville, near Swadlincote, when the girl ran out, narrowly missing Kuromi Jenkins’ car.

Ms Jenkins said her mother may have saved the girl’s life as she was sitting with her in the car and shouted that the girl was there.

She has released the dashcam footage she took in an attempt to warn others that, if they do the same thing, it could end in tragedy.

Ms Jenkins said: "Please will you publish this video in a bid to promote road safety. This was at the Tollgate Island, in Woodville, which is a highly busy and dangerous island.

"She took me by surprise as she ran out behind a van, so I didn't see her. Luckily my mother was with me. who spotted her and shouted to me so, as I went to accelerate, she alerted me and I braked instead - otherwise this could have been a whole other story.
